Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	On April 11, 2012, a technician performing compaction tests using a CPN MC portable moisture density gauge (10 millicuries cesium-137; 50 millicuries americium-241), left the gauge during a test to prepare the next test location 20 to 30 feet away. A compaction roller ran over the gauge and shattered the gauge housing. The technician cordoned off the area and contacted the Radiation Safety Officer. The RSO contacted the Virginia Emergency Operations Center and returned the gauge to its storage area after ensuring the sources were inside their shields. Based on an onsite investigation by members of the Virginia Radioactive Materials Program, it was determined that no individual was likely to have received a radiation dose and that the gauge sources were secured in their shields. The licensee has contacted the gauge distributor to return the gauge. Virginia Report No.: VA-12-001
